Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today.

    Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes.

    Incredible work.

    AND even then you can reflash the bios, its time consuming and costly but you can.

    then nothing can be bricked because on paper you can desolder the rom chip and put another one in place.

    If you want to be stupidly pedantic about shit, then nothing is anything.

    I agree with the sentiment but ...

    then nothing can be bricked because on paper you can desolder the rom chip and put another one in place.

    Companies already put serial numbers in components and configure them so only specific ones work together, requiring OEM tools to pair them.
    It's imaginable that someone makes something similar with e-fuzes instead.

    well, you started this pedantic shit. So deal with it.

    Nah. The person you responded to asked a facetious question. You started being pedantic.Everyone know what it means when someone says something is bricked.
